Satellites

Did you see me the other night?
 Did I catch your eye
 Your attention sliding by on a cloudless night?
 Spying down and spinning around
 To the naked eye I'm far from a sight to see
 Drawing lines on both hemispheres and the stars outshine me
 Always analyzing
 Sending out our findings
 It occurs to me...
 We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light
 Pushed to meet criteria in the long run
 Don't you think that I've had my share
 That the burden I bear compares to what I receive
 If you label me obsolete I'll remain
 Here among, and as a part galactic debris
 Always analyzing
 Sending out our findings
 It occurs to me...
 We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light
 Pushed to meet criteria in the long run
 We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light
 Pushed to meet criteria in the longer run
 Have I outstayed my welcome here?
 But I may linger a little longer,
 Hang around for no particular purpose or reason
 Before you burn me in your atmosphere (crash me into your sea.)
 Push me out of your orbit...
 ...know that I will always remember
 Know that I won't consider surrender
 We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light
 Pushed to meet criteria in the long run
 We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light
 Pushed to meet criteria in the longer run
 Have I outstayed my welcome here
